Download or read book Computer Aided Drug Design in Industrial Research written by E.C. Herrmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ernst Schering Research Foundation sponsored its 15th workshop in Berlin on October 19-21, 1994. Leading scientists from Europe and North America were invited to discuss computer-aided drug design in industrial research. Computer-aided drug design is a very exciting field and an intellec tual challenge, like playing chess. But these reasons are no longer suf ficient to justify using this method in industry, if they ever were. Fig. 1. The participants of the workshop VI Preface Therefore, when we, together with Prof. Hoyer, started to think about this workshop, our intentions quickly became clear. We were not so much interested in the very latest developments of methods or in computer-aided drug design itself - enough conferences have dealt with these topics. However, we were very interested in the usefulness and limitations of computer-aided drug design in the indu strial research process. A lot has changed in the pharmaceutical industry recently. These changes are gaining momentum, so it is the right time to think about the role of computer-aided drug design in this changing environment.

While interacting with many researchers in the field of biotechnology and allied sciences, we felt that there was need for a book that could easily bridge the gap between in silico methods applied in structural bioinformatics for drug designing and wet lab workers. Today, when computational skills in biology and biomedical research are in high demand, this book presents updated content for methods and tools applicable in modern computer-aided drug designing. Researchers are pouring knowledge into databases that are publicly available and laboratories across the globe are accessing this information for analysis and further investigation. There is a battery of data scientists involved in development and maintenance of online databases. Alongside them, there is another class of programmers and scientists involved in development of software tools for analysis of this data. Modern tools based on machine learning are available to provide accuracy and efficiency with speedy analysis of biological and biomedical data. In many cases, analysis of readily available biological data helps to decide future directions for laboratory work. Indications obtained from such analytics save time and resources which could be very crucial in general. Publicly available protein three-dimensional structure and drug databank libraries have facilitated the drug discovery process. Millions of drugs can be screened in a few hours by using virtual screening tools. Molecular viewing tools can be used to visualize macromolecules and their interactions with drugs. Findings from such studies are being used to validate results directly in laboratories. Efforts have been made to cover all areas relevant for computer-aided drug designing to allow this book to serve as a standard reference book and meet the requirements of graduate students and researchers working in drug design and structural bioinformatics. Some chapters are dedicated to basic concepts in computer-aided drug discovery while other chapters present applications of the available tools in the field. Contents from exemplary method-based chapters are easy to follow and will help new researchers in applying contemporary tools for their studies. The book will also stimulate programmers and data scientists interested in developing tools for structural bioinformatics applications to develop new and improved versions of software. Chapters presenting the basic concepts of methods involved in drug design will help new learners in the field to meet the challenges of designing novel therapeutics by using computational tools. Cross-disciplinary research is in trend nowadays and such investigations involving experts of their respective fields are highly promising and fruitful. Drug discovery requires experts from health sciences and medical sciences, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, biotechnologists, biochemists, statisticians, biophysicists and clinicians. For a complete piece of translated product such as a drug, inputs from specialist researchers are needed. Modern rational drug discovery approaches are truly inter-disciplinary fields which require a systems biology approach for successful ventures. This book covers all steps of drug design, from drug target identification to intermediate steps to successful clinical trials, making it truly essential for modern researchers in the drug discovery and structural bioinformatics fields.

Book excerpt: Computer aided drug designing is an alternative to high throughput screening provide the structure of drug target is known. X-ray crystallography and NMR verified protein 3-D structures are increases very rapidly which provides the basis for structure based drug designing. These proteins can be used as a drug target to design potential ligand/inhibitor that can best fit in binding site of protein. Structure of the target in the presence of a ligand provide important insight into the geometric fit of ligand into the binding site, low-energy conformation, ideal molecular electrostatic potentials, the presence of charged and/or neutral hydrogen bonds between functional groups, and hydrophobic interactions between lipophilic surfaces. Application of computer in drug discovery has marked a revolutionary change in process of drug designing. But, now the drug discovery process has become reliable, accurate and cost effective due to availability of large amount of genomic and proteomic information, application of tools for modeling, ligand designing, pharmacophore mapping, protein-ligand simulation, molecular descritpors and toxicity prediction.

Download or read book Computer Aided Drug Design written by Joseph Kaus and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational tools are useful for studying biological systems with an atomistic level of detail. The focus of this work is to develop and apply methods for the accurate and efficient prediction of the binding free energy between receptors and small molecules. These computational tools may be useful during the rational development of novel pharmaceuticals and also for studying fundamental biological processes. In principle, an atomistic free energy calculation that uses an explicit representation of the solvent is one of the most rigorous methods available to determine the binding free energy between a small molecule and a target protein. In practice, inaccuracies in the force field, which models the interactions between all of the atoms in the system, or inadequate conformational sampling may cause the predicted results to differ from experiment. In this work, new methods were developed to improve conformational sampling during free energy calculations. These methods were applied to protein-ligand binding free energy calculations, and the results show significant improvement in the accuracy of the resulting free energy as a result of improved conformational sampling. These methods are complementary to one another; each may be applied depending the particular details of the system under study and combinations of these methods will be explored in future work. An alternative method that does not rely on explicit sampling of all relevant ligand conformations in a single simulation was also explored. The results suggest that this method is a possible alternative when the ligand conformations are known prior to running the simulation. A deficiency in the force field was also found, which was corrected by using a different charge model leading to improved agreement with experimental results. Free energy calculations were also used to investigate potential inhibitors of the bacterial enzyme Undecaprenyl Diphosphate Synthase, which may be useful in the development of a new antibiotic. This study combined free energy calculations with in silico predictions of molecular physical properties to guide the rational design of potential inhibitors of this enzyme. Thus, this work encompasses the development of new methods and an application of free energy calculations for computer aided drug design.
